Christopher Nolan is Hard at Work on ‘The Odyssey’

After giving last year’s Oscar-winning feature Oppenheimer, Nolan is hard at work on his next film, The Odyssey, which is described as a “mythical epic” that will bring the ancient tale of heroism, adventure, and mythical creatures to life. While the exact plot details are shrouded in mystery, the original Greek epic follows the trials and tribulations of Odysseus, the Greek hero on a perilous journey home after the Trojan War.

Interestingly, the movie has a stacked cast of A-listers who are quite well-known in superhero fandom. Our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, Tom Holland, is said to be leading the cast. His MCU co-star Zendaya, well known for playing MJ, as well as Chani in the Dune franchise, is also in the cast. Charlize Theron, who briefly appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and has never collaborated with Nolan before, will also appear. Also starring is Black Panther star Lupita Nyong’o while Nolan also brings back Dark Knight trilogy collaborator Anne Hathaway, who famously portrayed Selina Kyle aka the Catwoman, and the director’s Tenet collaborator Robert Pattinson, whose The Batman II will begin filming sometime this year.

Interstellar is playing in theatres in India. The movie is also available on Paramount+ to stream.
